According to the prosecutor, ASP Francis Audu, the defendant hatched a plot to eliminate her husband, James Tizhe and two others that include Maryamu Bugi and Bugi Walla.

The prosecutor intimated the court that the defendant, gave a cash deposit of N7, 000, to the assassin out of the sum of N100, 000, she had promised to pay after killing those she had penciled down. The hired killer collected the cash deposit on June 3, 2022, and reported himself to the police.

It was gathered that Hauwa paid the money to Kwaji, to consult a native doctor on her behalf to inflict paralysis on her husband, but not to kill him.

She reportedly confessed that she took the action because of the husband’s failure to treat her as his wife and properly take care of her. The husband was alleged not to share the same bed with her for the past nine years.
